Making Changes

Tweet

I am ready to publish. That's the next step. However, I didn't push that button and won't until I've read through the manuscript one more time. As you can see from the collage above, I made some changes and that is the full cover of the book. I went back to my cover maker and made some changes to the font and color for the title and name of the book. I absolutely love what I came up with. The green just makes that cover pop. I was also able to find the same font on KDP Direct under a different font name for the spine. I had a lot of trouble getting the title to be one line on the spine, but when I landed on that font, it all worked together. I thought KDP Direct was funny when it was doing the previewer to make certain everything was good and there wasn't anything more I needed to fix. I decided on the final preview to take it up on its suggestion and grabbed a cup of spicy pumpkin tea. I'm not a coffee drinker. I'm sipping it as I type this post. One thing I found interesting was that in all my work yesterday to reformat the manuscript from what I had with CreateSpace, I needed to put it back so it would be inside the lines and nothing would be cut off. So, it's ready to publish. All I need to do is click the button. I've priced the book at $17.95. I knew it wouldn't be an outrageous amount as my Ex-publisher was trying to tell me. When I've read through the manuscript for the last time, I will also set up the Kindle version so they publish at the same time. Other than that, I've also been to Social Services this morning. They sent me a paper copy for the six-month review. I knew there was something missing on the one I filled out last week online. So, that is turned in again, this time without the added bonus of a picture of Pikachu. As for the weather, we broke last year's rain/snowmelt totals with 40.11 inches for the year so far. There was 38 point something inches for all of last year. We got 1.31 inches of rain yesterday and through the night with more on the way tonight into tomorrow morning. There is flooding, but thankfully, it isn't a lot. That could change with the added half-inch they're predicting. That has been my day so far. How is your Wednesday? Thanks for reading.
